That's right, for 20€ more I can get a 7.1 soundcard.
Adding 20€ there and there stretches my budget very much, knowing, that I wanted a 50$ soundcard at the beginning
I'd like to find a benchmark for these soundcards like for the transit, because the sonica must be based on an older generation, and the sonica USB had a bad reputation.
As I told it, the choice will be made considering how much money I have

You might consider the Audiotrak Optoplay, $50 here in the US, not sure how much it would be in France. It supports 16 & 24 bit playback and works with asio4all. I might be getting one to use as a transport for my laptop, so I'll be able to tell you how it sounds.
EDIT
You can get it from Audiotrak UK for 95 Euro shipped.
And it looks like the Maya44 USB can be bought for 115 Euro from dbsys.de/webshop. That would be my choice if everything is around the same (80-120 Euro w/shipping), as it has full support for asio, optical out, and a full complement of analog in and out jacks. Unfortunately, I haven't heard one, so, I can't tell you what it will sound like.

The Optoplay is good for the price but it has no input at all. That's not nice because I occasionnaly record some music through a mic.
It would be my choice if I couldn't stretch my buidget.
I didn't see any benchmark on the Maya44
Planet 10 : I would be quite interested in th USB DAC you bought. Post here when you have tried it !
